Remind Your Customers That You Are Still There

Remind Your Customers That You Are Still ThereA business card functions like a memento, especially at the beginning of a relationship with a customer. Most probably, the business card will be kept. When the client decides they no longer need the business card, they will get rid of it. But how can you keep the interest up? How can you bring back the positive effect of a business card?

Bad decisions when offering gifts

A lot of companies do make bad decisions. A temporary refresh of your memory, profile or relationship can be achieved by offering a gift. First of all, make sure that your gift is not taken for a bribe. It is fine to offer a present as a thankful reward to someone who buys from you regularly, but some people believe that offering too much and too fast implies transmitting a negative message. So what should you look for?

Be careful and choose an adequate gift.

Make sure that your gift is not offered too late. Christmas is always associated with notebooks. I have received dozens of notebooks overtime. The interesting part is that I already had one, so they were quite useless.

Avoid gifts that can be consumed within minutes. A bottle of scotch might be a good idea, but if you send it for Christmas, it might become history by tomorrow.

Stay away from dumb gifts. Perhaps you should forget about those pens with round tips.

Generally speaking, you should come up with a useful and distinct gift that no one else is offering. For example, I have a friend who stores his business cards in a leather business card book, which was offered by a hotel. This was, indeed, a good gift.

Who I Am

My name is Alexandru-Adrian Carstea and I provide all kinds of content related services. I am also involved in a series of different businesses in the attempt to find the perfect one. I once read that the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. Ever since that moment, I have always guided my actions by this saying.

I used to be self employed and work as a freelancer for more than a decade. These days, I am mostly focused on businesses. I help amateurs spot their vision and I try to open their eyes. I like to engage into all kinds of businesses, provide helpful advice and detailed analyses, regardless of your necessities. In fact, this is exactly what this website is about.

What I Write On

Quick Lesson

“Nine out of ten freelancers experience problems during their first year. Some of their bosses will employ them for almost no money. Some other employers do not fully trust their work and terms. Finally, scams are part of the process, so working for free occurs at one moment or another too. It happens to everyone. If you think that working at home is just as comfortable as sleeping or doing nothing, you are wrong. In fact, freelancing asks for graduation – real life graduation. Things get better eventually.”
